Oh, it's still that one?  I thought it was something new, sorry for my confusion.

The Youtube was the pilot for Doomsday Preppers.  There is going to be a new series on NatGeo starting Feb. 7th.  I'll definitely be checking this out. I watched the youtube pilot and it's making me feel like our preps so far are rather inadequate.  These people are way ahead of us.  I am so jealous of the multi-family compound in SC  (LOVED the farmhouse!)  with one of the husband's being ex-military with tactical combat training. We have a few friends who are like-minded but have chosen other places to prep and bug out to if SHTF, closer to their families. 

I've been watching Independence USA.  Frank is a fireman who is prepping for TEOTWAWKI.  His adventures involve him trying to learn new survival skills.  Show #1 focused on bow hunting and making his own bow.  Show #2 is about building an outdoor kitchen (a large gazebo) and using a gasifier truck he purchased to run a generator to power lights in the gazebo.  Show #3 focused on Frank's adventures building his own cannon and making his own lead shot (pouring melted lead through a screen into a bucket of water).  So far this show is entertaining but not that informative.

Be on in a few.

Watched it last night.  Liberals are so cute when they prep.

You see, morally she is against guns, they are actively encouraging others to prep and learn, so everyone around them knows what they are doing, and they are going to rely on the community and relationships with others  to protect them. Maybe one of their friends in the community owns a gun. They better hope so, though I am not sure she would consent to be friends with such a person. However she is friends with a guy who   suggests that he will smile and invite any marauders to dinner, check them out and then poison them if he doesn't think they will add to the group.   killing with guns bad.  Killing by poison?  That is fine.

"Our security comes not from stockpiling weapons, but from having a community that respects each other, supports each other, and we have each other's backs"

Its hysterical.  I am taking bets that one of her "community", probably a close friend, maybe the poison using guy,  will kill her shortly after  if TEOTWAKI goes down.
Probably with a firearm .  Liberals have no restraining  ethics or principles, and they will turn on each other in a second.

Excellent show.  NatGeo treats these folks with a great deal of respect, which is good.  Best tip: rub your fresh eggs with a little mineral oil.  The eggs will have a shelf life of up to 9 months. 

One couple has 4 adult children who each specialize in some survival skill - one is IT/systems for security, one is metalworking/woodworking/tooling, etc. , one is in charge of fuel and has been stockpiling wood, and one is in charge of weapons.  Wish I had more kids and they were all grown up. So jealous!

Liberals are so inconsistent.  She's counting on a "respectful, supportive" community to provide protection?  Why doesn't she expect the same community to feed and house her then?  Idiot knows exactly zero about human nature and obviously never watched Jericho.

They don't think. They feel. Are your emotions consistent? Mine aren't.  This person  probably votes for cradle to grave care provided by the enslavement of others, and then worries that the "White Knight" of  government won't be there to save her, but sees in that an opportunity to be the White Knight herself!  When a Liberal does work, it is only for ego gratification. She feels that she will be in a position to help others and that they will owe her, and admire her, and therefore NOT shoot her though the head, slit her throat in the night or poison her and take what she has worked for  ( while she thinks nothing of voting to take what others have worked for through coercive force)  She would rather die than compromise her ego's need to believe that she is morally superior, and in the end, she will probably get her wish.  I am sure nothing could have made her happier than getting a National audience to preen herself in front of.

True dat.

What's that which is said about liberals; they'd rather see a woman raped and strangled with her own pantyhose than use a gun to kill a rapist.

So, "precious" gets her five minutes of fame .... and probably an ignominious end.

Community marauder, after dispatching Precious - "Damn, look at all this cool stuff!  Sure glad you weren't armed and loath violence!  This place is great!"

In anticipation of the premiere of Doomsday Preppers tomorrow night, we wanted to give bloggers in the prepping community an opportunity to share their thoughts – after all, they’re the real experts!  We sent each of the following bloggers a copy of the show – check out their reviews below to find out what they thought and whether they’ll be tuning in each week for more.  And should you decide you’d like to make a few preparations of your own after seeing the first episode, look no further than these blogs to get started: Link


and  ETA: edit what appeared to be an encyclopedia was a circular waste.

   Hey you kid!!!   C.O.

  I just watched it without falling asleep. And even though I think some of them need help mentally they did have some good stuff to use in our own cases.Hand warmers as oxygen removers is great and storing cheese in Cheese wax and the eggs in mineral oil is great too.

 I just happened to have gone out and added to my preps today taking advantage of some sales around town.
